On "incomplete" Anti-rh Antibodies: Mechanism of Direct Agglutination Induced by Mercaptoethanol.
Since "incomplete" or "blocking" antibodies were first demonstrated in 1944 (1, 2), a variety of techniques has been developed to demonstrate the combination of incomplete antibodies with the appropriate erythrocytes (3). These procedures utilize high protein media, enzyme-treated cells, the antiglobulin (Coombs') reaction, hypotonic environments, or isotopic labeling. Previous explanations for...
متن کاملThe effect of antisperm antibodies measured by direct mixed agglutination reaction on in vitro fertilization rate
Background: Although in vitro fertilization (IVF) has been found to bypass the inhibitory effect of high levels of antisperm antibodies on sperm motility, fertilization rates are reduced in approximately 40% of the attempts. In this study, we investigated the relationship between antisperm antibodies measured by the direct mixed agglutination reaction (MAR) and the fertilization rate in inferti...
متن کاملQualitative and Semi-Quantitative Comparison of an Rk39 Strip Test and Direct Agglutination Test for Detection of Anti-Leishmania Donovani Antibodies in the Sudan
Background: Until now, the comparison of the rK39 strip test (RKT) and direct ag-glutination test (DAT) for detection of visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is exclusively based on either positive or negative qualification of the reaction outcome. Objective: In this study, we compared the diagnostic performance of RKT and DAT for VL both qualitatively and semi-quantitatively. Methods: For comparison ba...
